weekend

yikes, i’ve been back from vegas for over a week now
and i haven’t had a minute to sit down to write about the beer festival and all the other amazing beer places i found downtown
(or write the couple of reviews i owe people…)
and now i’m off to portland for the weekend
(poor, poor me!)
there will be beer drinking of course,
and a trip to belmont station to find some fabulous beers to bring home with me,
but beer is not actually the focus of my trip this time
saturday is the launch party for cider riot – a kickstarter funded cidery
and since we’ll be in town anyway, sunday i’ll be at the timbers game, sitting with the army!
i am very much looking forward to taking to the streets,
and pogoing the night away,
not to mention getting my first taste of cider riot’s ciders

weekend

i will be spending a fair bit of time this weekend at bc place
tonight to watch the lions beat the pants off the roughriders
sunday to watch the whitecaps and timbers battle it out
it will be delightful

but
but what the heck am i going to drink?
there is no good beer at bc place
there is not even half decent beer at bc place
there is no good cider at bc place
there is passably drinkable cider at bc place
maybe i will watch the games sober

it has been suggested that i bring hop oil with me
and make an ipl out of what’s available to me
maybe…
but i am not gonna drink from the taps
no way, no how – gross!
